"I sometimes wish I could send that damn cat flying through the multiverse," grumbled a strange humanoid being with shoulder-length lime green hair with Hakaishin purple tips to it along with the traditional God of Destruction garb mixed in with a dark green top with purple markings. His metallic-like arms were crossed while they glowed with atomic energy all the while the human like skin on him glowed purple due to thinking of his 'rival'.
He was currently staring down at the planet Earth, a small world at the edge of his universe, Universe 18, a universe that was surprisingly spared by Zeno due to the help of a being that has resided on this very planet. This being was the reason he was here after all.
Beside him was his angel attendant, Maurice, who looked to his pupil and sighed; "You know well that you cannot harm another God of Destruction, Lord Ahta."
The now named Ahta, Universe 18's God of Destruction, sighed as he knew his attendant and master was correct. "I know, Maurice, Zeno knows I do, but he can't even keep on measly Saiyan in line. The Saiyans in this universe show the upmost respect to me, the highest among them even shown to achieve a form that can give me a slight challenge. Why is it that Beerus can't even keep one in line? Because now, we face universal destruction, and I have a mere week to form a team before this tournament can begin."
"Then why start here, Lord Ahta?" Maurice curiously asked, even though he was well aware of the answer.
"Universe 7 has Saiyans that can compete with the Gods, and If what I've heard is correct, then Universe 11 has a mortal whose strength surpasses Belmod, who is third under both me and Beerus. I know there is a gap, but I wish to have our own powerhouse to... even the odds. The Saiyan Princess will be contacted soon, along with the Hybrid and our student, but I want him to be the leader of this team. Our universe needs it."
"And if Zeno does not like the idea of seeing one of his kind again?"
Ahta was quiet, he feared Zeno as much as the other Gods of Destruction, but he never physically showed it in front of the King of Everything, something Zeno both noticed and seemed pleased about. Yet, he was well aware that his universe has a history with the Grand Zeno, one that involved a being that challenged him long ago... and won. He wasn't sure how Zeno will react now if he saw one of the species, hell the lineage, that beat him again, but...
"I will take the responsibility, along with consequences if that is to happen," Ahta slowly replied.
"We are out of options," he continued, "despite our high mortal level, our number of beings strong enough to combat the likes of those in other universes are low. For better or worse, we need him. His power may be our only chance at universal survival."
"If that is what you believe my lord," Maurice said with a nod, "I will not question it no more."
"Thank you, Maurice, now we must speak to him... we must speak to the Stormwolf."
"As you wish Lord Ahta," Maurice stated, despite his calm demeanor even though he was a little nervous. If the power this Stormwolf had is what the legends say it is... then they may be in trouble if they were to anger the beast. Even an Angel, a being that was naturally attuned to the abilities of Ultra Instinct would less likely survive a confrontation with a being capable of instilling fear into the Grand Zeno.
He could only hope that this doesn't turn into a confrontation.
Meanwhile, on Earth, a battle between two of the strongest is going on... but not a battle to the death that is.
"Come on Gojira, I know you can move faster than that," yelled the voice of a humanoid wolf that stood roughly 8'5" with jet black fur with hands that ended with at the most four-inch claws. He also had a completely wolf-like head with two electric blue orbs for eyes and a fanged grin that showed that he was indeed enjoying himself. He was also dressed in a sleeveless black armor with electric blue highlights with the armor resembling a mixture of both Greek and Nordic designs. On the upper right chest plate though was his insignia which was a howling wolf head connected to a lightning bolt, which was in a dark blue color.
He received a growl in response from a beast that stood thirty feet tall. He had dark gray scales covering his body, with the only other color being the dark orange eyes that looked down at his slower opponent. The beast also had elephantine back legs along with smaller arms with five claws on each, all capable of slashing through all but the strongest of metal with ease. He had a long tail that was perfect for being used as a weapon, and his head was a mixture of that of a T-Rex and an alligator. Lastly was on his back, which were massive rows of sails/spikes that went from the base of the neck all the way down to his tail, though the longest one's were from the shoulder down to the back.
These two were Troy Feral and Gojira Stevens, also known as Stormwolf and Godzilla. They were two of the strongest beings on the planet and potentially the universe with Stormwolf being the latest in a line of god-killing werewolves with the ability to mend storms to their will. With Gojira, he is the son of the original Godzilla, a being that had once conquered Hell and Olympus before he dies along with Troy's father while they fought a being of near infinite power.
Gojira is actually the cloned son hybrid of Godzilla, with his mother being experimented on by scientists to create the perfect weapon. Only downside was unknowingly his mother was a demigoddess. A daughter of Zeus of all things, which makes him a quarter god, a quarter human, and half Titan.
Currently, the two were having, or supposed to be having, a friendly spar, which is what they did often ever since the two had met over five years ago. They were practically brothers at this point, and that was soon to be literal... much to Troy's annoyance.
Don't get him wrong, he wouldn't mind calling Gojira his brother... it's the fact that he'll be marrying his sister that he finds slightly annoying.
"Are you just going to keep dodging or are you actually going to fight!" Gojira growled out as his sails began to glow blue in frustration.
Stormwolf smirked at this as he stopped moving to face his opponent; "I could, but then I wouldn't be able to-"
It was then when he was forced to tank an Atomic Blast that forced him to slide back a few yards. He won't lie about the fact it stung, but it's nothing he hasn't tanked before. Besides... this was literally a light one compared to what he's seen Gojira fire at the likes of Zeus, Ghidorah, or better yet the Elemental Titans. When the blast dissipated, though, he was sent into the side of a mountain by a backhand courtesy of Gojira. The force was strong enough to make a sonic boom go off, as did the impact against the mountain, which made lightning begin to spark off of the Wolf of Lightning
With the King of Monsters, his sails began to glow again as he prepared another Atomic Blast, but not without saying; "Was that fast enough!?"
Before the Titan hybrid could fire his blast again, Troy's eyes opened, revealing a slight golden tint in his eyes. He then leaped off the side of the mountain, nearly shattering it on impact as lightning sparked off him.
Just as he did this, Gojira managed to fire his Atomic Blast, which collided with the lightning-covered blur, and the effects caused a shockwave over the entire landscape. The force was so strong that it sent both combatants back, with Stormwolf going through a few trees followed by making a trench with his body. Godzilla on the other hand was pushed back and even forced to hold his ground with his forearms, which caused a drag in the Earth.
Despite the amount of force given into the strikes, both combatants got up rather quickly, their healing factors taking care of the minor burns and scratches they took from the impact. Due to his smaller stature, Stormwolf was the first to go for an attack, now with blue lightning around his fists as he charged forward with speed that would make him invisible to the blinding eye.
Gojira noticed this as he then got in a defensive stance while swinging his tail, resulting in Stormwolf ducking before side-stepping a stomp attempt. The Wolf of lightning then leaped and nailed with an uppercut, only for the King of Monsters to snap his eyes open when the lycanthrope was above him and nailed him with a point-blank Atomic Blast that sent him into the air.
When he released the blast, Gojira stopped for a moment to breathe... only for the sky to darken when a howl that was comparable to thunder was heard. When the Demi-Titan looked to the sky, he saw a black, blue, and golden blur coming down and slamming into his head. The impact shook the planet and made a massive crater on impact while also sending Gojira crashing into the ground.
Yet again, despite the impact, the son of the original Godzilla was still conscious and even trying to stand back up, only for a clawed hand to place itself on his snout. "Gojira, the battle is over-" Troy tried to tell him but was interrupted when
"No it's not," Gojira growled as he stood back up, his sail glowed with their signature blue but also with a red outline to it. "I'm not done... until I'm unconscious or better yet... when I win!"
Stormwolf shook his head as he heard that; "That's not what I meant, Gojira. I mean that as in we are no longer alone."
Seeing that his future brother-in-law was now looking up towards the sky, the Titan hybrid looked up to the sky and saw that they were indeed being watched. They were a strange pair of individuals that was for sure, with the chubby blue-skinned individual wearing a strange blue disc around his head along with whipped-up white hair and a strange get-up while holding a staff with a green bulb along with the green-haired cyborg individual with the genie look to him. He then looked to Troy and asked; "Are they a threat?"
"Don't know," the god-slaying werewolf admitted; "Hakaishin gods are not a common sight, and when they destroy planets, they tend to do it from space. Still... we need to approach with both caution and respectfulness. His kind are rather easy to anger."
"You dealt with them before?" Gojira asked as he shrunk down to his human form, which was a charcoal-gray haired twenty-four-year-old man with fire orange eyes that stood about 6'6" and was wearing dark gray combat pants with black boots, along with a gray long-sleeve, skin-tight shirt, and black combat boots.
A sigh escaped the older, twenty-seven-year-old as he shifted back to his human form as well. He was a man about 6'5" with slicked raven black hair with electric blue highlights in it. He also had a short beard/mustache combo that was of the same color. He was dressed in dark brown boots, black fingerless gloves with blue outlines, and a black leather jacket with his logo on the upper left chest in dark blue. He also had on a dark blue t-shirt and lastly a pair of blue jeans.
"Me personally? No, can't say I have," Troy answered him before continuing; "but both my pops and my grandfather have dealt with him, and both accounts atone to him being pretty powerful. Not that I'm worried about that, but more about the planet's well-being."
The younger man nodded before looking to his future brother-in-law; "I'll let you take charge on this then, Gods are your thing after all."
"Nah shit, Sherlock," Troy stated dryly as he approached where the two deities were slowly making their descent to. Gojira followed behind him, a little nervous as since he was King of the Greek Gods and the Titans, he never really dealt with other major groups of Gods before. He could only hope that Troy knew what he was doing.
Troy on the other hand was just wary of the situation. He's heard tales of this particular God from his father, as well as the battle between his grandfather and the God of Destruction, a battle that shook the universe until his father went serious and practically slapped him across the galaxy with no issue. So he was at the least a bit wary, but if worse came to worse... he was sure he would have to finish what his grandfather started.
"May I ask why the God of Destruction is on Earth," Troy stated in a polite manner as the god and angel landed before him and Gojira, who he could sense was a little nervous about this confrontation. He could only hope his sister's fiancé doesn't decide to do anything stupid.
Ahta immediately spoke, knowing full well to get straight to the point with one of these God Killers. "Believe me, Stormwolf, I have not come to bring any harm to your planet. I know full well how that will turn out, given have instead come to ask for your help... You do know of the multiverse, yes?"
"Yes, we're well aware of it," Troy replied, knowing of it due to the same reasons he knew of Ahta's existence. "Why, is Zeno planning to try and erase our universe again?"
Gojira's eyes widened as Troy stated that so casually. When did this happen and why would someone even want to wipe out an entire universe!?
Truthfully sounds like something Ghidorah would've tried when he was still alive.
"It's more complicated than that, Lord Stormwolf," Maurice told him.
Ignoring the 'Lord' part due to a lot of regals in the Dark Dimension and the Gods that he was on the good side of addressing him as such, the Wolf of Lightning was more into wanting to know; "Define complicated."
"A Saiyan from Universe 7 has convinced the Grand Leader into making a 'Tournament of Power' with the strongest in the multiverse coming together to fight for the survival of their respective universes. We are in need of ten warriors, and considering who you are, I wish to recruit you to be captain of this team. I have other members in mind, but not enough to make ten-"
"A Saiyan?" Gojira asked, making Troy look to him, wondering what about a Saiyan is making him ask questions. "You mean those monkey guys that occasionally crash down to Earth and try to fight us? How on Earth did one of those manage to convince your... uh boss?"
Ahta looked to Gojira and then back to Troy before asking; "Is he a powerful warrior as well?"
"He killed Ghidorah the First Destroyer, so I could only assume that's a yes," Troy said nonchalantly, earning a shocked face from Ahta while Maurice, someone who's kept tabs on the stronger beings of Universe 18 for Ahta, remembered watching the battle with his staff. Nevertheless, Troy continued; "But, Gojira is right, how on Earth did a Saiyan of all people convince Zeno to hold a tournament? From what I've seen and heard, they are necessarily strong in comparison to the likes of us."
Ahta then nodded to Maurice as he then tapped his staff, making the globe on it enhance in size to where it shows a few images. Three of them were of men with spikey hair, one wearing blue and white armor of some sort, another, bigger individual with what appeared to be a black, skintight, long sleeve shirt with a giant, green, furry ear draped around him and his purple pants, while the other was wearing an orange gi, but the thing about them was that each of them had a different hairstyle. Violet, Green, and Silver.
"These are the three strongest warriors of Universe 7 at this time," Maurice spoke up: "Vegeta, Broly, and Goku, each of them are Saiyans that have taken their power to godly levels. Vegeta had taken the path of a Destroyer, Broly a Primal Berserker, and Goku the path of the Angels. Each of them could easily handle themselves against the entire race of Saiyans we have in Universe 18... but against you, Lord Stormwolf, or Lord Godzilla here? You two alone would easily be going toe-to-toe with the Saiyans of Universe 7... or the Warrior of Universe 11."
Another image appeared, showing a gray-skinned alien with no ears and big, black eyes. He was dressed in a black and red uniform and was standing with his arms crossed, his gaze ice-cold, something that got both Troy and Gojira's attention.
"Who's dark, brooding, and murder on his mind?" Troy asked simply, looking on as Gojira seemed to study the photo as well.
"Jiren the Gray," Ahta spoke, having heard Belmod talk of him many of time, along with having seen what his Angel could find about him. "He is one of the few beings other than yourself who can say their power surpasses a God of Destructions, even though there is a considerable gap between Belmod and me, but the point still stands that he's easily one of the strongest mortals in the multiverse."
"I'm guessing the three Saiyans are around that level as well... considering, from the look of the hair and the eyes, the one known as 'Goku' has the Angel's signature technic, and the other two being fairly close to where he is in power?" Troy asked, trying to weigh his options. He wasn't even sure he was allowed in the tournament, but he could only see where this goes... for all he knows, these Saiyans and this Jiren might give him at the least a decent challenge.
Maurice nodded, which made Troy go into thought, but someone else had already made up his mind.
"I'm in," Gojira spoke up as he looked to the God of Destruction and his attendant. "I'll fight in this 'Tournament of Power' you have going on."
"Just like that, Gojira?" Troy couldn't help but ask; "It's not something we can simply rush into; this is for the sake of the universe after all."
The Demi-Titan looked to the Wolf of Lightning with a determined look as he faced the older man. "That's all I need to know. My universe is in danger of being destroyed and I for one ain't just going to sit back and let it happen. Not when I still have a future to look forward to. So yes," he then turned to Ahta and Maurice, "you have the King of both Olympus and the Monsters on this team of yours."
"So, a deity chooses to fight for the sake of the universe," Ahta said before looking to the Stormwolf and asking again; "So will the Protector of Mortals do the same?"
Troy looked to the god for a moment before glancing at Gojira before shaking his head with a smirk; "You know, one of these days I'm going to just let you rush into something without me, right?"
Gojira could only grin back before crossing his arms; "That'll be the day you retire."
"That it would;" Troy admitted before looking to Ahta; "I'm in, but I want to know exactly what we're dealing with, and who else is on this team as of now."
Ahta was silent for a moment before stating; "We have three members in mind, we have not spoken to them yet due to wanting you to captain this team. Even then, that would only make five members... we need ten by a week's+ time or we'll be starting out in an even worse state."
Troy and Gojira looked to each other then back to the God and Angel duo before Gojira spoke up; "Well... we know a few people who may be able to help."
"And we say a few because most of the really strong individuals on this planet are relatively green," Troy stated with seriousness. "I hate saying it, but they are not ready to fight for the universe, even with their tremendous power."
Maurice then spoke up; "You wouldn't happen to be speaking of the Elemental Triplets, the current wielders of the Fire, Flora, and Water Titans, correct?"
"Yeah, they're my students," Troy admitted, getting Ahta to nearly drop his jaw at that as the Elemental Titans were a part of the Multiversal Titans, beings said to be fragments of the Dark Dragon himself... Beings at full power that could easily destroy a universe if they so wanted. Of course, the Stormwolf of all people is training three of them. "They are also teenagers with little experience with their powers and how to control them, so I wouldn't recommend them for this level of power. Same goes for the last mortal of your kind, Lord Ahta, she trains with the Last Son of Thor and the immortal known as Jack Frost. Though, there are still a few options that we can still seek out."
After a moment to process what he has been told, Ahta then looked to Maurice and gave a simple command. "Maurice, I need you to collect the Saiyan Princess Tomma, The Saiyan Hybrid, and our student and meet back here on Earth as soon as you can. I will look into these suggestions the Stormwolf and this Gojira have to offer us."
The Angel Attendant simply nodded, knowing that since the Stormwolf has agreed to help, that things should be moderately peaceful until he returned. He was sure that the Saiyan Princess will not be too pleased that she isn't the one calling the shots for this team and will try to challenge the Wolf... he could tell her not to, but even then, she was incredibly stubborn.
"As you wish my lord," Maurice stated as he then tapped his staff and in a beam of light, the angel left the Earth and was heading towards his Destroyer's planet, leaving the God with the God-Killer and the Demi-Titan.
As soon as Maurice left, Ahta turned towards the two individuals were probably Universe 18's best chance at survival. "So where is the first of three potential candidates to join this team?"
"Home," Gojira stated simply. "She's home."
"Because the first person we have in mind is a being with magical abilities," Troy told Ahta as he turned to where he planned to head towards.
Ahta looked at the two as Gojira walked over and placed a hand on Troy's shoulder. "And who may that be?"
The Beast of the Storm sighed as he took a deep breath before stating; "My sister."
Meanwhile, outside of a large house in the upper part of the United States, a young woman was meditating on a large, perfectly cut, tree stump. Yet, this woman was unlike most as she seemed to be more like a humanoid-arctic fox in a white, armored attire similar to the Norse Valkyries. She had a foxlike head with clawed hands less intimidating than the Stormwolf's but still lethal enough to deal brutal damage.
Though, the most noticeable thing was the tails... all nine of them. With each tail, the end had a different color, one for a different type of elemental magic, with each kind spinning around the tail as well. Ice, Fire, Water, Earth, Light, Dark, Lightning, Flora, and Wind.
As the elements began to intensify in the slightest, the eyes of the Nine-Tailed Fox opened, revealing two silver orbs.
This is just me posting Stormwolf150's chapter as I said before will be going back and forth between our universes. I will post another chapter of this story but with my heroes recruiting their teammates. Please follow/favorite this story. UltraPhantom out, PEACE!
